THE ADMINISTRATIVE CONTRACT AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR SOCIAL INCLUSION IN THE WORK OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Abstract

In times of crisis, social rights are the first to suffer some kind of negative impact in their implementation, aggravated by a liability related to access to the job market for people with disabilities. However, sustainable and inclusive national development is a duty of the Brazilian State. Acting in a sustainable manner has a broad scope, despite three “classic” forms of action: environmental, economic and social. One of the forms of state intervention is through public contracts. In addition to the traditional objectives of all public contracts, we have the possibility of establishing horizontal policies in the so-called Socially Responsible Public Contracting (Contratação Pública Socialmente Responsável – CPSR). We will only focus on the election of contractual obligations and their monitoring, given the necessary delimitation of the theme, as one of the ways to enable access to a relevant job market for people with disabilities. The powerful public contract, as a tool for cross-cutting action, would increasingly be a binding mandate aimed at achieving sustainable and inclusive national development.
